In a very moving and emotionally charged three-day workshop, 20-22 April 2018, the Continuing Education Program “Relational Gestalt Psychotherapy” was completed. Coordinator was Dr Gianni Francesetti* who had chosen the topic “The field perspective in clinical practice. Towards a theory of therapeutic phronesis”.

This workshop covered a large part of theory, not with the aim of giving a proposition of a universal definition of the field concept, but taking into account the complexity of the matter, offering a theoretical framework that is sufficiently clear, as well as illustrating its consequences for clinical practice.

As expected, the team farewell to the expectation of meeting again in the future and exploring together the rich world of relational psychotherapy through Gestalt therapy.
